One comment turned into a full-blown crunchy cult.
This week, Emily and Jason unpack a spicy little gem from the comments section—someone thinks we’re terrible people.Not just mildly annoying. Full-blown villains. So naturally, we take that critique to its logical (and very extreme) conclusion. Are we starting a cult? Sacrificing goats? Gaslighting the masses through sourdough reels? No. We’re just telling stories. That’s it. But also, Emily casually became an award-winning children’s book author, so maybe we are too powerful. Tune in for a very unserious conversation about internet outrage, accidental influence, and the true horror of being misunderstood online.

This week on *The Really Very Crunchy Podcast,* we're stepping into the world of artificial intelligence—how it's changing our lives, the planet, and the creative space. We talk about the good (yay for help with spreadsheets!), the bad (can we not replace artists, please?), and the uncertain (should we be worried about Skynet?).
We explore:
- The environmental cost of A.I. systems
- What ethical use looks like (if that even exists)
- How creatives are responding
- And the ultimate question: How far is too far?

We're in a waste crisis...
In this episode, Emily and Jason spiral (lovingly) into a full-blown existential crisis about how wildly wasteful our world has become. From single-use everything to perfectly good items tossed in the trash, they wonder how we all just... live like this? But don’t worry—it’s funny! They laugh through the panic, question their own trash habits, and wonder aloud if society might one day wake up and smell the compost. Emily also shares her latest hyperfixation: westerns. Because if there’s one thing the frontier life got right, it was using every part of the buffalo...

We’ve all had those moments we wish we could erase, but let’s be honest—our most embarrassing stories make the best content. This week, Emily and Jason dive into their most cringeworthy memories, from the time Jason had to strut around McDonald’s in a full Batman costume to the horrifying realization that Emily and her friends had been joyfully playing in… raw sewage. (Yep, you read that right.) These are the moments that humble us, haunt us, and, ultimately, make for a great laugh. Plus, Jason shares an update on his new keto journey as he works to improve his kidney health. Tune in for the awkwardness, stay for the inspiration—because sometimes, the best way to get through life’s most humiliating moments is to laugh about them later.
